To Be Determined & CityMD Women's Racing

We are excited to announce that going forward we will feature stories from our friends at CityMD Women's Racing as part of the To Be Determined Journal at ToBeDetermined.cc.

Building on the past five years of to our team race reports, bikepacking journeys and generally good times on the bike we felt it was time to shine a spotlight on female cyclists, as both racers and cycling enthusiasts.

For those of you not already familiar with CityMD Women's Racing, an introduction: CityMD Women's Racing has been a longtime sub-team of the CRCA - 6 years and counting. The CityMD Women’s Racing Team is home to 10 Category 1, 2, and 3 women who race primarily on the road, with some dabbling in other cycling disciplines.

Off the bike they are successful and intelligent professionals spanning a wide range of industries such as academia, marketing, journalism and finance. Their off the bike success mirrors their accomplishments on the road, including: CRCA Team Cup Champions and Jim Boyd Winner in 2015, over 50 top tens in both 2015 and 2016 including 22 podiums last year, domestic elite team status, and participation in the professional Philly Parx Casino in 2014.

In their own words:

"most importantly, we love riding together, going on adventures and road trips, emailing nonstop every day, and sharing the grand adventure of cycling."

We look forward to bringing their new and differentiated perspective to the To Be Determined Journal. Stay tuned for many great stories to come from the ladies of CityMD Women's Racing.

Importantly CityMD Women's Racing is supported by a terrific cast of sponsors including Garneau Sports, To Be Determined's longest standing partner:
